Extend the Life of Your Roof Through Routine Maintenance

Preventive roof maintenance can protect your roof from wear and tear, weather damage, animal infestations, and more. By staying up to date with seasonal and annual roofing inspections and maintenance, you can extend the lifespan of your roof by catching problems early enough that they can be easily repaired. At Bryan Exteriors, we specialize in commercial and residential roof maintenance and inspection services.

What Is Preventive Roof Maintenance?

Preventive roof maintenance includes tasks that are done before there is a problem with your roof. The goal of these tasks is to reduce the risk of roofing issues like leaks, roof rot, pools of water, pest and animal infestations, mold and mildew, and overflowing gutters. By committing to seasonal or routine roofing maintenance tasks, you can save yourself time and money and avoid stress by reducing your risk of emergency roofing problems that are costly and dangerous to repair.

Benefits of Residential & Commercial Roofing Maintenance

When Do You Need a Residential or Commercial Roof Inspection?

Most roofing contractors recommend that you schedule a roof inspection twice per year. However, if you live in an area with extreme temperatures, high winds, or heavy storms, you should schedule seasonal roof inspections. Otherwise, you can schedule a roof inspection in the spring and again in the fall. Roof inspections are the easiest way to protect your roof from damage that would only get bigger, more expensive, and more dangerous over time. During a roof inspection, your roofing contractor will do a comprehensive visual inspection of all elements of your roofing system, including your gutters, downspouts, drainage system, soffit and fascia, eaves, roof deck, and roofing materials. He will look for signs of weather damage, wear and tear, leaks, water damage, animal nests, pests, mold and mildew, and other issues. The sooner you catch roofing problems, the easier and faster they will be to repair.

Signs You Should Schedule Roofing Maintenance Services

While most experts recommend that you schedule a roof inspection and maintenance in the spring or fall, there are situations in which it is better to schedule these services earlier than usual. Common signs you need commercial or residential roofing maintenance services include:

Missing or damaged roofing shingles
Your roof is older than 10 years
